OEM Deal Extends Reach Of Hyperic Open-Source Management Tool

Hyperic, a developer of open-source Web infrastructure management software, continues to spin its own Web of alliances. After launching a common services platform project with Linux vendor Red Hat earlier this year, Hyperic has struck a deal to build its systems management API into Terracotta's open-source Java clustering software.

Under the OEM deal Terracotta is incorporating Hyperic's cross-platform, cross-language SIGAR (systems information gathering and reporter) programming interface into Terracotta 2.6, the latest release of the vendor's software.

The combination of the Hyperic and Terracotta technologies will provide ISVs, solution providers and system managers with a way to monitor and improve the performance of Java application clusters, gathering data on CPU utilization, disk use, network activity and other metrics. Those statistics complement the metrics the Terracotta software provides about activity within Java virtual machines (JVMs).

In February Hyperic joined Red Hat Exchange, the vendor's ISV program, and the two vendors launched the RHQ project aimed at developing a common services management platform to be used in future versions of each company's products. Source code for the project is available under GPL open source license at www.rhq-project.org . The RHQ project served as the code for JBoss Operations Network v2.0 that was released last week.

Hyperic also has OEM deals with MySQL (recently acquired by Sun Microsystems), Iona and Spring Source. Such deals account for about 25 percent of Hyperic's sales. The company is also pursuing deals with resellers, said senior marketing director Stacey Schneider.
